Under the orange tree in the backyard stood a girl with an oval face, wheat-colored skin, and big braids. When she saw Yu Xiufang coming over, she lifted an orange with a smile and handed it to Yu Xiufang: "Mom, this orange is absolutely delicious.
"
"Xiangyang over here, the oranges are a little sweeter." Yu Xiufang took it with a smile and looked her daughter up and down, "The young man Lin's family said they were kissing is here. You go back to freshen up and put on the clothes you just made. I
Pick up some oranges and wait for your aunt and others to come over to entertain the guests."
Zhang Yuru was a little nervous and picked up the bamboo basket at her feet. She blushed and said, "I just changed into this outfit today. If he likes it, he can wear it. If he doesn't like it, forget it."
Yu Xiufang took a look and saw that she was wearing grass green khaki pants, a washed blue sports cloth top, and a bright red shirt with the collar turned outside. She looked very pretty.
He stepped forward with a smile and took the basket she was carrying, and said softly: "Don't be stubborn, go and change. I heard from your aunt that the young man over there is also wearing a new suit, and he looks very energetic."
Zhang Yuru nodded shyly: "Yes!"
Seeing Zhang Xiuqing leaving, Zhao Xiaohui smiled and called Lin Lan aside: "Xiaolan, I told you about my cousin last time. Your second brother and I will take some time to take you to see him, okay?"
Lin Lan didn't expect that she hadn't given up yet, so she said politely: "Second sister-in-law, thank you for your kindness! If I were looking for someone, I might find someone to do business with me."
Zhao Xiaohui looked at her in disbelief: "Last time you said you didn't want to look for it, but in just a few days, you found the right one?"
Lin Lan was a little unhappy after hearing this: "Second sister-in-law, what I mean is that if you want to find it, you will find it in the business circle. Don't worry, if it is confirmed, I will ask my parents to go and take a look."
"Oh!" Zhao Xiaohui left reluctantly.
The Yang Liying sisters also nodded: "Yeah! This tastes really good, it tastes better than the oranges on the steamed bun mountain."
Sister Yang Liying smiled and agreed and went to the backyard with Lin Lan. They saw several orange trees covered with yellow and orange oranges.
Lin Changyou smiled with folds on his face and looked at her fondly: "Okay, after the Chinese New Year, I will ask your brother to help you find it."
Yang Liying said: "Of course it's good to have a primary school. The children there are all from the city. If Xiaodouzi goes to study there, will people bully him?"
Yang Liqun grabbed an orange branch full of oranges, and Lin Lan used scissors to pick out the bright-skinned ones and cut them off: "Third sister, my mother said these are new varieties of navel oranges and they taste very good."
"Your dad has asked someone to find out about the person she mentioned. He is really nice. He is tall and has a good appearance. But because he has six fingers, it has been difficult to find a partner." Wu Shufen hesitated and looked at her.
, "If you don't dislike his six fingers, just take a look!"
Lin Lan nodded repeatedly: "This tastes really good. We grow navel oranges like this."
Yang Liqun nodded: "Yes! Although it is difficult now, no one dares to take away the family property we purchased."
Yang Liqun smiled and said: "I remember that all the rich people lived in those small Western-style buildings. The yards were full of flowers. The old man and I even delivered tofu."
Only then did Zhao Xiaohui understand and pulled her to persuade her: "Xiaolan, my cousin is really good. Those people outside..."
"Xiao Hui!" Wu Shufen called her, "Go to the pig farm to catch a duck, then dig two nests of konjac and come back, and roast the duck for lunch."
Lin Lan remembered Yao Xiuyun's words and said with a smile: "Xiuyun said the same thing. She also laughed at how low-level people like us had the right to live there!"
Sister Yang Liying felt that it would be the same no matter where she studied. They thought that buying a house for their child to study was something only people in the city would do. Lin Lan bought everything, so they couldn't say anything. They also wanted Xiaodouzi to have a future.
Yang Liqun took a look and nodded: "Okay, I'll choose the cut you mentioned."
Lin Lan took the vegetable basket and scissors and said to Yang Liying: "Eldest sister, third sister, let Zhixue talk to my dad, and we will go to the backyard to pick oranges."
After Yang Liying took one and looked at it, she found that the top of the orange had a bulge like a navel, which was hidden in the peel. She smiled and said, "This is the first time I have seen an orange like this."
Lin Lan smiled and hugged Wu Shufen: "Mom, please talk to your second sister-in-law and ask her to stop helping me find a partner."
Sister Yang Liqun asked in surprise: "When did it happen? You are too courageous."
Lin Lan suddenly remembered that she had not told them about the house she bought in No. 1 Middle School. She hesitated and said, "Third sister, eldest sister, I forgot to tell you that I bought a small building on the street of No. 1 Middle School and planned to let my brother."
Find some fruit trees for me. If you want them too, I will ask him to find a few more."
She swallowed, "My mouth watered when I smelled this smell. We will also plant some fruit trees in the backyard in the future, so Xiaoli and the others will have fruits to eat."
Wu Shufen nodded: "Okay, you accompany your aunt to the backyard to pick oranges to eat, and I will ask your eldest brother to go to the river to close the net and bring back some fish."
"I kept swallowing." Lin Lan smiled and picked up one to show to Yang Liqun, "Sister, choose this cut. This kind of fruit has smooth, delicate and shiny skin, which tastes sweet and has a thin skin."
"Okay!" Lin Lan pointed to the back of the folder, "Put the things in the back of the folder away and put them away. Give the eldest brother and the second brother a piece of meat each, and give the candy to Xiaojun and the others."
Lin Changyou smiled and knocked the extinguished cigarette pole gently on the foot of the stool: "I have planted dozens of them at the foot of the mountain. They are one meter high. They are just suitable for transplanting. I will send them to you in the beginning of next spring."
Wu Shufen nodded in agreement and carried the wallet on her back to the kitchen.
Lin Lan swallowed the orange meat in his mouth and looked at him with a smile: "Dad, I also want pears, persimmons, cherries, etc., and a few more peppers and vine peppers to plant on the edge of the private plot. Let's see who dares to hit me next year."
rape."
Lin Lan looked at Lin Changyou who was chatting with Yang Liying, and whispered: "You'd better ask the second sister-in-law to go back there! I'll tell you something later."
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Just..., Dingbang and Xiuyun bought them. I want to get Xiaodouzi to go to primary school in the future."
The three aunts and sisters were chatting and laughing, and soon filled the basket. They went back and took a knife to cut the orange into several segments. After picking up one segment, it only took one bite. The sweet and full pulp and refreshing juice flowed between the teeth.
Nowadays, there are less insect pests in fruit trees, and there is no need to apply cyclamate and potassium fertilizers. Every spring, loosen the soil around the trees and bury some mature farmyard manure, and you can harvest a lot of fruits.
Yang Liqun and Yang Liying laughed after seeing it: "Uncle really dotes on Lin Lan and answers all requests."
Lin Changyou said happily: "She is just a girl, and she doesn't know when she will be spoiled. Fortunately, you guys help me take care of her, otherwise I would be really worried!"
Yang Liqun said sincerely: "Uncle, we didn't take much care of Lin Lan. It's up to her to do her best."
She paused and looked at Lin Lan and his daughter gratefully, "Lin Lan and you are taking care of us now, otherwise our sisters' tofu stall would not be able to support itself."
